NOOOoooooo

A motorcycle scrap yard in Guangzhou, China, the city has banned motorcycles.

In a measure of just how problematic prosperity can be in China, the city had instigated a ban on motorcycles and motorized bicycles, hoping to quell a crime wave that has been building to more than 100,000 offenses a year.

The motorcycles, the primary mode of transport for migrant workers clawing their way up Guangzhou’s economic ladder, are also favoured by criminals who have terrorized the city in recent years.

Looks like it's not good riding a motorcycle in China.... they have been trying to ban motorcycles since 2003, and so far 500,000 of them have been destroyed...

so sad, all that potential..... in the last photo, you can see the cop eyeing one up.. haha

happens in southern china, few citys, too many bike gangs they rob people,beat you up... you can still ride your bike there if your legal but not allowed into the city area. those been destroyed are all illegal bikes,they are cheap to buy anyways $100 you can get a nice 250cc haha.

Chinese bikes only last a year so they will end up at that dump anyway

sounds like you own a chinese bike before? or it's a because they said so kinda thing.

like chang jiang motorcycles been around for years never heard people complain about them. no doubt theres junk come out of china but theres high quality stuff too, even lifan have good bikes. all depends on what you paying, you wanna cut it cheap you will get cheap stuff.

i guess im just being an opinionated HD owner.my assumption is cos I haven't seen many models yet that seemed to last for long on our roads, and yeah because 'I heard that kinda thing' & also because I wuz being a smartass.hey you own an HD dude! havent seen you gettin round on a Lifan 200 !I suppose if Lifan etc are still goin strong in 10 or 20 years time here in NZ then they will have built up a good long term rep here...I saw some people are usin Lifans for Bobbers, fair enuf, if that's what you're into...
